Muscle mechanics in diagonal stride cross-country skiing and the effect of speed and incline
(Master thesis, 2021)Background: In gaits, such as running and walking, decoupling of the muscle fascicles length changes from the length changes of whole muscle-tendon unit (MTU), allows muscle fascicles to work almost isometrically and close ... -
Muscle morphological and strength adaptations to endurance vs. resistance training
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Fascicle angle (FA) is suggested to increase as a result of fiber hypertrophy and furthermore to serve as the explanatory link in the discrepancy in the relative adaptations in the anatomical cross-sectional area (CSA) and ... -
Muscle protein breakdown is impaired during immobilization compared to during a subsequent retraining period in older men: no effect of anti-inflammatory medication
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Muscle inactivity reduces muscle protein synthesis (MPS), whereas a subsequent period of rehabilitation resistance training (retraining) increases MPS. However, less is known regarding muscle protein breakdown (MPB) during ... -
Muscle strength and hop performance criteria prior to return to sports after ACL reconstruction
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011-09-20)Purpose The purpose of this article is to present recommendations for new muscle strength and hop performance criteria prior to a return to sports after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Methods A search ... -
Muscle strength and osteoarthritis progression after surgery or exercise for degenerative meniscal tears: Secondary analyses of a randomized trial
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Objective: To evaluate muscle strength changes following partial meniscectomy or exercise therapy for degenerative meniscal tears and the relationship between baseline muscle strength and osteoarthritis progression. Methods: ... -
Muscle strength characteristics following megaprosthetic knee reconstruction for bone sarcoma
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Objective: To assess muscle strength characteristics in patients with resection and megaprosthetic reconstruction of the knee for bone sarcoma compared to age- and sex-matched controls. Methods: This was a cross-sectional, ... -
Muscle strength is associated with physical function in community-dwelling older adults receiving home care: A cross-sectional study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Background: Higher maximal- and explosive strength is associated with better physical function among older adults. Although the relationship between isometric maximal strength and physical function has been examined, few ... -
Muscular exercise capacity and body fat predict VO2peak in heart transplant recipients
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012-06-01)Heart transplant (HTx) recipients usually have reduced exercise capacity, with reported VO2peak levels of 50–70% of predicted values. This study aimed to evaluate central and peripheral factors predictive of VO2peak. ... -
Muscular HSP70 content is higher in elderly compared to young, but is normalized after 12 weeks of strength training
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Purpose: Aging is associated with increased myocellular stress and loss of muscle mass and function. Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are upregulated during periods of stress as part of the cells protective system. Exercise can ... -
Musculoskeletal adaptations to strength training in frail elderly: A matter of quantity or quality?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background The improvement in muscle strength generally exceeds the increase in muscle size following strength training in frail elderly, highlighting the complex aetiology of strength deficit in aging. The aim of this ... -
Musculoskeletal fitness and balance in older individuals (65–85 years) and its association with steps per day: a cross sectional study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-01-12)Background: There is limited normative, objective data combining musculoskeletal fitness (MSF), balance and physical activity (PA) among older adults. The aims were therefore to; 1) describe MSF and balance in older ... -
Musculoskeletal Screening Tests and Bony Hip Morphology Cannot Identify Male Professional Soccer Players at Risk of Groin Injuries: A 2-Year Prospective Cohort Study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Background: Musculoskeletal hip/groin screening tests are commonly performed to detect at-risk individuals. Bony hip morphology is considered a potential intrinsic risk factor but has not been examined prospectively. ... -
